AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables efficient space utilization during transportation and storage by folding into the smallest possible space while maintaining structural integrity against collisions and mishandling, ensuring safe and space-efficient packaging.

Problems solved by technology

However, a traditional dummy HDD is often a fixed structure, and not foldable, which causes a waste of space when the dummy HDD is boxed and transported.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]Relevant subject matter is disclosed in a pending U.S. patent application with application Ser. No. 13 / 221,857, filed on Aug. 30, 2011 and entitled “DUMMY HARD DISK DRIVE”, which is assigned to the same assignee as this patent application.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present disclosure relates to a dummy hard disk drive (HDD) for an electronic device.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]An electronic device, such as a computer or a server, usually includes a plurality of brackets for mounting HDDs. A dummy HDD is usually fitted in each bracket to avoid the bracket from being deformed or damaged when manufacturing or transporting these brackets. When a real HDD is received in the bracket, the dummy HDD will be taken out. However, a traditional dummy HDD is often a fixed structure, and not foldable, which causes a waste of space when the dummy HDD is boxed and transported.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0006]Many aspects...
